Mike Castle Backs Bush on NCLB; Continues to Reject Calls to DUMP Bush’s Fiasco

Big shocker, I know.

100 year old looking, dodering and clearly sporting a dirty diaper, Rep. Mike Castle met with Del. teachers. 

While the teachers, parents and educators have had it with Bush, Mike Castle keeps defending his man.

“Castle, R-Del., met with state officials, teachers, PTA members and school officials from around the state Tuesday at Caesar Rodney High School to ask their opinions on what adjustments the bill needs.

“There are ways you can manipulate the system,” said Pikus, a teacher in the Milford School District. “We should be focusing on providing a high-quality education, not beating the system.”

Castle’s response: “tough shit” (That is a paraphrase.) Click here for the full article.

    I love the picture the NJ is using. He looks like Methuselah.

    Every day he is looking more and more like Montgomery Burns.

    Markell could beat this guy while on vacation in Chile asleep in a hammock. Run for Congress Jack! Run!

    So does Ted Kennedy get away scott-free on this one? It was HIS legislation. Bush was foolish enough to get in bed with him on such a bad proposal. And when it, predictably, failed to achieve results, mysteriously Kennedy no longer had anything to do with. Must be that famous main-stream media memory again.

    I thought Ted Kennedy’s middle names were “Scott Free”. That man has become a caricature of himself.

    Is Chris allowing that Bush MADE A MISTAKE? Stop the presses.

    Chris, No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 wasn’t Kennedy’s bill, it was Rep. John Boehner, Republican of Ohio.

    Stop the presses for what? I have made no secret of the fact that while I support Bush on the issue of Iraq, I think he has made serious mistakes domestically, especially with regards to border security.

    I and MANY conservatives are way against him on this Amnesty bill. He can say all he wants that it is not amnesty, but that is what it is and it will be a HUGE MISTAKE!

    Warning: If you start questioning our glorious ruler – you don’t know where the questions might take you.

    “Warning: If you start questioning our glorious ruler – you don’t know where the questions might take you.”

    Further from the liberal side that is for sure. This is what we keep saying. You guys say Bush is ultra-conservative. That just isn’t true. He is actually left of the majority of conservatives. And what he is seeing with this stupid amnesty bill is that he is left of conservatives.

    Hopefully this questions will take us to a true conservative for president in 2008.

    Depends on your definition of conservative doesn’t it. The problem that most liberals — okay, me — has with the Ruling Republican establishment is of their social conservativism. If Bush and his pack were fiscal conservatives, i.e. smaller gov’t and no budget deficit (snicker, snicker snicker) and less making laws from the religious pulpit, I would probably have less of a problem with him.
